How difficult it is for us to truly grasp the unlimited resources of our God. Yet He created all things, and through Him all things continue to be created.
He is never without. He is unlimited. He is infinite He is sovereign. And amazingly, the things of this world which we consider of greatest value, cannot compare to His glorious riches. Which is why He can give them to anyone He pleases. That is the definition of sovereignty... the authority to do with your possessions, as you wish, when you wish, how you wish. Sometimes I wonder what life might be like if we hadn't taught our kids to count and tell time. For those are the means by which we measure our 'stuff,' constantly comparing with others, when in fact, it's God who owns it all anyway. It makes me contemplate the worth and value of the things of this world. Just think, once we reach heaven, how many things will cause us to shake our heads and laugh, confessing, Did I really spend all that time chasing after _____________? But then we will look upon our Lord, Our Sovereign Supreme, and worship Him in complete adoration and trembling. This is the glory and richness for which He saved us!
